Strengths
  • + Purpose-built second-stage reranking improves precision of any retriever
  • + Multilingual and handles semi-structured JSON documents
  • + Pro/Fast split lets builders trade quality against latency and throughput
  • + Half the per-token price of GPT-5.5 while staying in the frontier coding/professional tier
  • + 1M-token context window with up to 128K output tokens
  • + mini variant targeted at subagent and computer-use workloads for high-volume agent fleets
Tradeoffs
  • − API-only (no open weights)
  • − Adds an extra network hop and per-query cost to the retrieval pipeline
  • − OpenAI directs complex reasoning and coding to GPT-5.5 instead
  • − Older knowledge cutoff (Aug 31, 2025) than GPT-5.5
